Eastern side of unified Germany... not bad! And if it eventually gets too hot, there's always German beer. Mmmmmmm ;)

Alcohol does not make you warm. It tricks your body into thinkign it is warm. This results in hypothermia.

You are correct. But I was talking about reducing heat, not attempting to warm oneself up. Cold beer on a hot day is one of life's little pleasures. Caveat: It's also important to drink non-alcoholic fluids, as any alco-bev* acts as a diuretic.
